Potter, old chum, listen:While your tripe below, attempting to rewrite theframework of pedagogic physics is admirable,its real and only value is in the personal way asof how YOU perceive some of nature's aspects& properties to be. That is all and no more.>Your tripe joins millions of such like schemes thatwere/are and will be published, posted & bloggedby other folks, all of whom believe to have a "eureka".

But NONE of then, incl. yours will have any impactonto the educational system or onto current R&D.>Has it been too long, since you left academiathat you can't remember that every physic lecturerthere publishes his own physics book, and doesdemand that every one of his students buys itat an exorbitant price?... If a student would turn intest results & use YOUR tripe below instead of his, the Prof. will give the poor kid a failing grade.>Like it or not, Potter, Physics is a social enterprise.In it, as can bee seen, only the brightest are allowedto do physics and "play" and do R&D. The rest of thefolks are relegated to work accoring to "specifications".>So much for the "morality" of folks, which you constantlyharp upon. But carry on, Tom. I like your tripe.Take care,and thanks for the laughs... ahahahahanson>>"Tom Potter" <tdp1001@yahoo.com> wrote:> This article makes rigorous definitions of Planck's constant and the fine> structure constant and suggests that they are not in fact constants.>> Let us consider a system composed of one electron and one proton.>> 1.
